内罗毕——联合绿色运动（United Green Movement，简称UGM）呼吁对安博塞利（Amboseli）生态系统发生的疑似大象“氰化物中毒”事件展开独立调查，并敦促当局在近期十五头大象死亡后，收紧对危险化学品的管控。\n\n该党发表此番声明的前几天，肯尼亚野生生物服务局（KWS）曾透露，初步实验室检测结果在几头受影响大象身上采集的样本中检测到潜在的有毒物质，不过该机构同时提醒，进一步的毒理学分析正在进行中，以确定具体物质、浓度及来源。\n\n然而，由戴维·马拉加（David Maraga）领导的UGM党表示，这起事件暴露出肯尼亚在危险化学品监管方面的漏洞，并要求采取紧急行动，防止再次发生野生动物死亡事件。\n\n该党联合秘书长卡托·万布亚（Katto Wambua）表示：“高危杀虫剂和有毒化学品的持续供应及滥用，不仅对野生动物构成严重威胁，也对人类健康、粮食安全和环境造成了严重威胁。”\n\nUGM在将该事件称为“氰化物中毒”的同时，呼吁进行全面的环境调查，以确定大象死亡是由受污染的水源、农业化学品还是其他有毒物质引起的。\n\n该党敦促国家环境管理局（NEMA）、病虫害控制产品委员会（PCPB）、各郡政府以及KWS迅速且透明地查明污染源头和范围。\n\n在其提出的建议中，UGM呼吁对杀虫剂和有毒化学品供应链进行独立审计，更严格地执行环境法规，对附近的水源、农产品和牲畜进行检测，并禁止使用202种在肯尼亚被列为限制使用但在多个欧洲和北美市场被禁用的农药。

Nairobi — The United Green Movement (UGM) has called for an independent investigation into the alleged "cyanide poisoning" of elephants in the Amboseli ecosystem, urging authorities to tighten controls on hazardous chemicals following the recent deaths of fifteen elephants.

The party's statement comes days after the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) disclosed that preliminary laboratory findings had detected a potential toxic substance in samples collected from several affected elephants, while cautioning that further toxicological analysis is underway to determine the exact substance, its concentration and source.

The David Maraga-led UGM party however said the incident exposed gaps in Kenya's regulation of hazardous chemicals and demanded urgent action to prevent similar wildlife deaths.

"The continued availability and misuse of highly hazardous pesticides and toxic chemicals pose a serious threat not only to wildlife but also to human health, food security and the environment," the party's Co-Secretary General Katto Wambua stated.

While referring to the incident as "cyanide poisoning," UGM called for comprehensive environmental investigations to establish whether contaminated water sources, agricultural chemicals or other toxic substances were responsible for the elephant deaths.

The party urged the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA), the Pest Control Products Board (PCPB), county governments and KWS to move swiftly and transparently in identifying the source and extent of the contamination.

Among its recommendations, UGM called for an independent audit of pesticide and toxic chemical supply chains, stricter enforcement of environmental regulations, testing of nearby water sources, produce and livestock, and a ban on the 202 pesticides classified as restricted in Kenya but prohibited in several European and North American markets.
